I have had Ivy since 5/9 and she has fed once since I have had her. Yes I know it is common for BP's to go off feed or refuse food but I think I know the cause and was looking for suggestions. She is roughly 600 grams which I have seen that the 5-600 in some BP's is a weight they possibley get more pickey at. I have tried F/T rats and mice of various sizes and live rats and mice of various sizes. The one time she ate was a small live rat so mostly that is what she has been offered. She ate the first time 5/16 after adding a hide to her tub (It was 1-2 days after when she ate). Now this was maybe 2 weeks or so after I got her. She blued out 10 days later which is why I assumed she refused the next feeding. She was offered again the day after shed and refused. She is extremely head shy and has been since I got her. Some time within the week after shed (I had tried feeding at least twice I noticed the tip of her nose appeared to have what I thought was a stuck shed. It had seemed almost wrinkley then one day I checked and it had popped up. It looks much clearer then in the picture but I had assumed it would rub off. She doesn't seem to be irritated by it I never see her rubbing her nose but she hasn't eaten still. At first I had been thinking she may have been bit during a feeding attempt but there was no blood and it looked to perfectly match the scale underneath. I watch her through feeding attempts and she often will follow the rat around her enclosure (its almost comical) wherever the rat has been she goes to and will even poke the rats butt with her nose but if it turns she pulls her head back so fast she knocks over her water dish and even hides it under her body if the rat gets too close. I don't want to hurt her and remove it if it's an actual scale but was wondering if I should try to put her in a damp snake bag and see if it comes off (which I know would also be stressful)
